Since i have moved Roxy with my 2 boys she is not as tame and has started biting. one of my boy budgies is also biting me when i put my hand in the cage and the boys are not talking as much. I do not have to time to work with them individually so i am moving 2 of them to the outside aviary. What is the best way to make the move the easiest for them. Should i put them in a cage near the aviary so they get used to being outside before i put them in the aviary.

There should be no problems moving them out side into the aviary.

I did it only a few months ago with Latte and Scooter as they were stopping me from taming Cookie.

As long as the weather is not too hot and not too cold for the first few days they are out there, there should be no issues.

If their wings are clipped, just watch as other birds may pick on them a little.

I Moved harley from inside to out and he loves it. I agree just watch the weather temp and they should do fine.

Thanks for the advice, their wings have been clipped so i have put them in a cage in my breeding room till their wings have grown back. It was hard to move Roxy out of the house but she has bonded to the other budgies now and chirps cranky at me if i put my hand near her. Runt is a boy i handraised 15 months ago and has a placid personality so i am going to spend time just taming him. Even though he has always been in a cage with other budgies he loves to talk and he steps up.

I have a number of birds in my aviary at the moment who have clipped wings, three babies that AV gave me who still haven't grown them back and a hen of mine that I intended to tame but decided didn't have the temperament for it. Thgey get around the aviary fine as long as there are branches to the ground for them to climb up

I agree MB, my two went into the aviary with their wings clipped - just got to watch for the first few days and make sure they are not getting picked on as they wont be able to get out of trouble like a bird with full flights

Thanks Liv and MB, i will get some branches going down to the ground for them and see how they go.
